Unbridled Soul

To meet
the savaged
inner prisoner
living deep
within

The heart
must stand
the ruthless
forces

Broken rocks
and skin

No small task
to delve so fallen
No shy shielded dove
for to know the beast
locked inward

Bares a lust's
unbridled soul

In sweet
as gruesome screams
upon the vast
plateau
​

Backwoods Boogie

Old souls giving up the ghost
this here ain't no church though
just a place where passion
and wordless poetry mingle
in the hottest of grinds
amidst the scent
of country magic

Dirty folk talk
drunk liquor rumors
grown folk nasty love makin
and the sway of the dirty blues

Doin the Backwoods Boogie
under the broken moon
in the midst of that
sad bourbon swoon

Slow motion sass
big mama backin
up all that ass
and the voodoo
of the night
keepin the evil
spirits away
​

Bird Song

and love
it was beautiful
like calm blue seas
that caressed the shores
she was baptized in water
that hurled itself over steep
mountainous cliffs into the tide...

and love
it was passionate like
the fires that burn deeply in
the earth's core he was seared in a heat
that charred loneliness from the hide...

don't tame her
the wind chide
oh the beauty of peace
like gilded doves how rare her
uncaged spirit softly sang...

fly high young sparrow...

don't reframe him
let the soul like water flow
ridin' that rainbow 'ever it go
as 'nother song that bird sing...

once they were one

flying higher as two
are they feelin' it
so musical
within their
'marrow'...
​

A Sea of Love

The darkness surrounds her
like the cloak of eternal night.
The air is thick and cool,
The smell of the sea fills her lungs,
The taste of salt upon her tongue
she wonder's weather its the water
or the tears shes cried.
And despite the madness around her
she longs for her lover.
Aches for him to hold her.
Remembers his kisses and his touch.
Shes drowning in a sea of love
consumed by the secret
knowledge of her passion.
The waves of lust and pain wash over her
clinging to her flesh like liquid fire.
The sky has fallen in love with her
and no matter how bright
his heart shines
she cannot see the truth
for she is blinded
by a broken heart.
So he tries to shout with thunder
but no sound could she hear
for she was to far out
to hear anything but the sound
of the sea screaming.

        it will not be seen nor read

21st Century Prophets

We Poets are
21st Century Prophets
filling up notebooks
and screaming on stages

We connect in a fashion
as we wear words

We dance on pages
stripping naked
to get you to listen
like what we
have to say
can be heard
better by eyes
but only 4%
of the public
suffers with
Sinestesia

And still we slash
our wrists with ballpoint pens
to get our souls heard

Hanging our pain like paintings
in an art exhibit entitled
'Emotional Poets'

Wanting
Waiting
Wishing
for an
Art Critic
to tare
us apart

Letter by letter
word for word

Because...

Because we are so
tightly put together

That we love
to be torn apart

We turn
the pain
into art
and scars
into deeply
embedded
ink wells

Don't you see?

We 21st Century Prophets
hold the keys to our
broken heart cages
by wielding pens in ways
that spark thought

Cant you see?

Our wrists are still tender
yet we slash them open
again and again because...

Because writers block
is a far far worse
form of torture

And never
being read
is a fate
worse than death

Smoke and Ash

I've imagined you
standing before me
looking into my eyes
as deeply as I look into yours.
And with one kiss
I am entirely yours...

Your hands all over my body
discovering the undiscovered.
My heart racing
My breath trying to catch up.
I am overcome
by wild and heavy breathing.

I regain my composure
but not completely,
You've rattled me
shook me to my core
as never before.

I slowly put my
hand on your chest
finding that spot
that sets me a fire
I can feel your heart
beat with desire.

Quickly passion possesses us
we lay flesh to flesh
as wood and fire
completely consuming each other
until there's nothing left
but smoke and ash.

A Most Beguiling Call

I walked the path
of the waking dead
among the lifeless
empty and bled

Inside my being
my heart lay un-beating

Til poetry found me
and breathed new life into me

Laid in deep

Paved within

Carved and Engraved

Upon a soul'd vessel
mortal'd in this realm
and slightly out of faze

Poetry Grows

I can feel the flow deep inside
as I sip upon each read
letting each letter
intoxicate me

POETRY = Defibrillator

Shocked my heart with words
now it beats in verbs
with a rhythm beyond
a normal rhyme

Temptation throbs
pulsing though out

The want of words
preying on my hunger now

Fervent in the moment moans
pound through the sound barrier
sonic synaptic surges pulsate thru
my brain's pleasure system

Poetry your so addictive
making me your junkie whore

Ink flows in my veins
inducing sensual labor
thru poetic labyrinths

My passion builds
as my creation spills
dancing on the cusp
between want and need
towards a most beguiling call

P-o-e-t-r-y

She sings to me
from her
Melodic
Dream
Lounge

Eat me
Breathe me
Ink me

Submerge
yourself
within me

B-l-e-n-d-i-n-g
you and I
Horizon'd
between we

Illuminations
flow internally

Taking in each syllable
sliding deeper into meaning
engulfing me in verbal mist

Drips of inspiration

Flourishing rotations

Pulsating my mental grip

See she
whispers
in echoes

Whispers
in Echoes

Taunting me
from an
unturned
page

Persuading me
to lay my heart
open and bare
upon the pages
of eternity

Thoughts and beats-ONENESS
Poetry is Breathless wounds

Passion held spellbound
in Desires grip

Because through it all
Poetry saves me

And Ill sing

Self expression to the end
